In Santa Fe, New Mexico, there is an Interstate Nuclear Services (INS) laundry that washes protective clothing worn by workers at nuclear facilities such as Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)-clothing that can be contaminated with radioactive material. Some of the radioactivity goes into the sewer system, thereby going to the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and then coming out in the water effluent or the digested sludge. Some of the water effluent is used to water playing fields, a golf course, and the infield of the horse-racing track, and the sludge is interred into a field. This study investigates contamination from a waste water treatment plant.
